Red Mansions I am Aunt Xue
Chapter 47
With trembling fingertips sliding across the words on the letter paper, Xiao Ning raised her head in disbelief and asked, "Jie Yuan, Qiu'er got to know Yuan," and without waiting for someone to reply, she said loudly, "Still in a daze What to do, hurry up and send someone to tell the master. It is a happy event for our Xue family to get to know Yuan. The whole house rewards the money of Shuangyue, and those who serve the master will reward Shuangyue."
"Yes." Hearing that Shuangyue rewarded silver, the servant was overjoyed.The person who reported the letter from Yangzhou also went down to rest happily holding the reward silver.
At this time, Xue Qian, who was drinking with the same imperial businessman, was also full of joy.Just as they were about to talk about the business they did this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
He Yifan frowned, and gave his confidant steward a wink.The steward got up understandingly and went to open the door, looking at the visitor with a rather uneasy expression.
"I met this elder brother. The younger one is a servant of the Xue family. I have something important to report to my master. Please let me know." Not bad so asked in a low voice.
The steward of the He family glanced at the visitor, and found that Master Xue was a distinguished guest of his master.Since there was something going on in his house, he didn't dare to stop him, and hurriedly said: "It's the younger brother in Xue's house, you wait a moment, I'll go and report it." Smiling and nodding, he went in and reported to Master He .
He Yifan heard that he was a servant of Xue's mansion, and stared and said: "You bastard, since you have something important to come to Master Xue, it must be very important, so hurry up and call him in."
He Yifan's voice was not low, everyone at the table could hear it.Xue Qian put down his wine glass, his face remained unchanged, but he kept wondering what was going on in his heart.
Bai He entered the room and looked around carefully.Today, the old man got Zhongjieyuan, and everyone is fighting for it to inform the old man of showing his face.Fortunately, he married a good wife, so he got a job.
Therefore, he didn't listen to Caiju's words, but went to the master's side and whispered.Instead, he walked up to Xue Qian, knelt down and said loudly: "Congratulations, master! Congratulations to master! There is good news from Yangzhou, and the master understands Yuan."
Everyone in the room was taken aback when they heard the words, so they all smiled and congratulated Xue Qian.Of course, if you don't rule out the jealousy and envy in some people's eyes.
He Yifan was also taken aback, picked up his drink and got up and said: "If I remember correctly, Brother Xue's eldest son is only fourteen years old. He won the prize at such a young age, this is a great joy. Come on, come on." , for this happy event, let's have a drink first."
"That's right, congratulations brother Xue!" Another person raised his wine to respect.
"No, brother Xue is really a tiger with no dog! I heard that the other son has won the top case before, and now he is Jieyuan. Next year, he will be the champion of high school." After finishing speaking, he raised his glass to toast.
Xue Qian did not refuse anyone who came, and drank them all in one gulp.It's not hard to see the joy in his eyes.Everyone here can understand that if a family has a Jieyuan, they are not allowed to open a shrine to worship their ancestors, and they will burn incense sooner or later.
You need to know that if you win the Juren, you are qualified to be an official, and Kuang Xueqiu understands Yuan.Not to mention this, at his age, even if he fails to win the Gongshi next year, there will be more opportunities in the future.
"Same joy, same joy. Hey! Brother Li, don't say that. It's just luck to be able to understand Yuan. In the future, if he can pass the Jinshi exam, I will burn the incense." Xue Qian waved his hand and said.Xue Qian naturally thought of his eldest son taking the first prize, but he was not so happy that he lost his mind, so he had to be humble.
Everyone over there complimented and toasted, and here Xiao Ning had already prepared the banquet, but he waited and waited for Xue Qian's figure.
At noon, she saw Xue Qian who was helping his servants to stagger back.
Xiao Ning hurriedly stepped forward to hold his other hand, and shouted to the reporter: "I told you to report the letter, why did the master come back drunk like this?"
It was still Caiju, seeing her man being scolded, she hurriedly stepped forward and received: "It must be that the master knows that the master understands Yuan, and it is possible that he was happy to celebrate with others and drank a few more glasses." She gave Baihe a squinting look.
Only then did Xiao Ning's complexion turn better, and he said to Xue Qian again: "If you are happy, you shouldn't drink so much, it will hurt your body."
The drunk and unconscious Xue Qian couldn't understand what Xue Ning said, and murmured: "Master is happy, master, I am happy today!" Watery.
Xue Ning pursed her lips and said no more.Winking at Caiju who was at the side, the two helped him into the back room and waited for him to lie down.She waved her hands to make everyone go down, and she gently wiped Xue Qian's face and hands herself.
She didn't naively think of Huang Shang as the richest man in modern times when she first came to this world.That's not a concept at all.
At this time, the hierarchy was extremely strict, and every person, including scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen had household registration.Although the Xue family belonged to the imperial merchant, they also lost their merchant status.People in the folk don't understand, and they call Jia Shi Wang Xue the four major families.But I don't know that in the eyes of a real aristocratic family or a scholarly aristocratic family, he is just a nouveau riche.Not to mention those, even the members of the Jia family and the Wang family, there are a few who can really look down on the Xue family.
If you want to change your family, the only way is to have a Jinshi in your family.Even if you don't become an official in the future, your lintel will be unusual in the eyes of others.So Xue Ning understood why Xue Qian was so happy, even she was also very happy.Furthermore, which parents in the world do not expect their children to become dragons and phoenixes.
At the same time, Xue Qiu was also drunk and sent back to the Lin Mansion.Lin Ruhai smiled, thinking back in the past, he didn't come here like this.Yin said: "You have someone prepare hangover soup, Qiu'er will have a headache when she wakes up later."
The servant standing on the left heard the words and replied: "Madam has already thought about it, so I have asked someone to cook sober soup."
Lin Ruhai waved his hand upon hearing the words, signaling him to go down.He took out a letter and read it, then carefully hid it.What is written here is the person behind the murder of Brother Yu.And following this line of investigation, he also learned a lot of shocking things.Fortunately, Jia Min is also the victim, otherwise he really doesn't know how to face his wife who has been with him for nearly 20 years.
When Xue Qiu woke up, he went to the study to greet Lin Ruhai after drinking some porridge.With a deep salute, he said, "My nephew pays my respects to my uncle."
"Well, I was able to win the Zhongjie Yuan this time, which was beyond my expectation. Compared with me back then, it was three points better than me. Maybe next year you will be able to win the Zhonghui Yuan and the champion. How many people have won the six yuan? If you become the first person to win the six yuan in this dynasty, you will definitely be recorded in the annals of history."
Xue Qiu lowered his head when he heard the words, and suddenly raised his head.After a good sound, Fang returned: "It's luck that my nephew got Zhongjie Yuan this time, I dare not have such delusions."
Lin Ruhai saw that his face was calm and his eyes were clear, and it didn't seem like he was talking nonsense.Then he nodded in satisfaction and said: "It's good that you can think like this. What I said just now is that anyone who reads will think, and should think so. But, you can't get caught up in it. You are still young, so don't be fooled by others." I don’t know what I’m holding.”
Raising his hand to let Xue Qiu sit down, Fang went on to say: "You can get Zhongjieyuan at a young age. Talking about something, I want to pressure you." Speaking of this, Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Qiu again to see how he would answer.
"Next year's spring, my nephew will definitely end up. As for the matter of six yuan, it would be a lie to say that I never thought about it." Xue Qiu's face turned red, and he has indeed been blown away these days. , turned to look resolute and said: "Nephew, no matter whether there will be someone above him, but he still wants to try. Firstly, nephew believes in his own strength, and secondly, nephew doesn't have to win six yuan."
Lin Ruhai's complexion gradually softened, he got up and said with a smile: "Let's go, your aunt has already prepared good food for you." He was afraid that the young man would be victorious, but he would be inferior instead.Now that he heard Xue Qiu's words, he felt relieved.
When the moon was in the sky, Jia Min coughed a few times holding the letter paper.After hesitating for a moment, he came to Lin Ruhai who was still reviewing official documents.
Said: "Master, my mother sent a letter. It said that Brother Yu was not in good health in Beijing and had never visited the mansion. Shall we take Brother Yu back? Although it is my cousin's house, I am not at home after all. I these days, I'm also very worried about Yu'er."
Lin Ruhai paused, and said in a steady voice: "It's okay, let brother Yu stay at Xue's house." After a moment of silence, he put down his pen and turned around and said: "I have written to Xue's family to propose marriage, and cousin Xue They have also agreed."
Jia Min shook her body when she heard the words, and after holding the desk to stabilize, she asked in surprise, "Engagement? Whose engagement? Dai'er's?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head, "No, Dai'er and Xue's two elder brothers are quite different in age. No, Qiu'er is a rare choice for a good son-in-law. This time, I have chosen Yu'er and niece Xue. Niece Xue Even though he's a few months older, it's okay."
After the shock, Jia Min didn't know what Lin Ruhai was thinking.Although Lin Yu is now the only bloodline of the Lin family, he is still a concubine.The birth mother is also a servant girl, so she has no maternal power to speak of.The only thing that can support him is to find a good wife.It's just that his status is too high or too low, which is extremely embarrassing.Only the Xue family?They are the same four major families, needless to say their strength.In addition, Xue Qiu is a person who can read, so he will definitely not be bad in the future.But it is the best candidate.
Jia Min lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes. If her elder brother was still there, it would be a bastard's turn to inherit the Lin family.Then I thought of the letter from Jia Mu's book about letting Daiyu marry Jia's family.
"I've met Bao girl before, she's the best girl, she's the perfect match for Yu'er. Since the master has decided on Yu'er's marriage, why don't you decide on Dai'er's marriage as well?"
"Dai'er's marriage? Do you have someone to choose?" Lin Ruhai's eyes darkened, it's best not to do what he thought.
"That's right, the mother of the former son wrote a letter. It said that the elder brother who was born with jade, Baoyu, now looks like a fairy boy. He can read at a young age, and he can already recite hundreds of surnames. Being so smart, he will definitely be extraordinary in the future. The Jia family is also comparable to us, and Dai'er is not a natural match."
With a wave of his hand, Lin Ruhai said coldly: "Baoyu is only so old now, so I will know the future. I have my own arrangements for Dai'er's marriage, so don't worry about it." Sure enough, as he thought, Jiamu made another move.
Jia Min held her breath in front of her chest and almost couldn't breathe. After all these years of marriage, Lin Ruhai had never said such a thing to her.What's more, it's her own daughter, and she was told to leave it alone.But Jia Min was not stupid, she saw that Lin Ruhai seemed to be angry for something, so she didn't dare to touch the bad luck again.Nodding his head, Fang returned to the house.Pick up the letter again and read it.The master is planning this for Lin Yu now, and she treated Lin Yu like that before, how can Dai'er rely on him in the future?As my mother said, it is best to marry into my grandparents' house.With her old man watching, Dai'er will not be bullied.
How could Lin Ruhai not know what Jia Min was thinking.Without Xue Qian's letter, without him making up his mind to investigate thoroughly.He didn't know that the Lin Mansion had become Jia's back garden.With one sentence, the master of the Lin family can be killed.Just ask, how dare he marry his prostitute daughter into Jia's family.That is tantamount to sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger.
Here Xiao Ning still doesn't know, she undoubtedly helped Jia Min with a word last time, which actually made Lin Ruhai touch the big fish, and even changed Daiyu's future fate.
At this moment, she is froze, dealing with Mrs. Wang who came to the door again.
"Yes." Hearing that Shuangyue rewarded silver, the servant was overjoyed.The person who reported the letter from Yangzhou also went down to rest happily holding the reward silver.
At this time, Xue Qian, who was drinking with the same imperial businessman, was also full of joy.Just as they were about to talk about the business they did this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
